[Print-friendly version] START QUT Units Students are able to choose one unit per semester. Upon successful completion of two START QUT units and Year 12 studies, students will have guaranteed entry to selected QUT courses. Students will need to apply for their chosen guaranteed entry course through QTAC as normal. 2010 units for Year 12 students who are participating in the 2010 START QUT program 2011 units for Year 12 students who are participating in the 2011 START QUT program Units are offered on each of QUT's campuses and students from the northside of Brisbane are encouraged to consider undertaking units at Caboolture campus to minimise travel times. Where a unit is offered at both an inner-city campus and Caboolture campus the content and assessment are the same. Students who would like to participate in the START QUT program but are not sure what area they should study can use the Match my skills quiz on QUT's Start Here website to get a better idea of courses and areas that will suit their interests and skills. Match my skills “I found Start QUT to be an excellent opportunity. I studied at QUT’s Caboolture campus and my lecturer knew me by name and gave me all the help I needed while I was studying. The program also gave me an insight into the way everything worked at uni.” David Bogg START QUT Bachelor of Business Unit outline Prior to making a decision on what unit to study, it is important that students read the unit information regarding what topics the unit will be covering, as well as the types and timing of assessment involved. Information on unit content is available from QUT Virtual's Unit Outline Search. If you are unable to access the web, you can request a unit outline by phoning 07 3138 3181. Where a 2011 unit outline is not yet available please consult a 2010 version for an idea of the content that will be covered in the unit as well as the number of contact hours required. Timetable Selection of units is dependent on a suitable secondary school timetable. Generally, three contact hours per week are required for each unit. Some units such as dance or science units may require more contact hours. Prior to making a decision students should check the unit timetable to ensure they have sufficient time in their school timetable to accomodate the contact hours required for the unit. To search for a unit timetable visit QUT Virtual. If clarification on unit timetables is sought, please contact the relevant faculty coordinator. Semester 1, 2011 timetables are expected to be released in late October 2010. Students should still submit their applications for 2011 as early as possible to ensure their place in the program. Once timetables are released if they do not suit the student's school timetable the student will be given the option to change to a different unit.
